Animal Science & Livestock Farm
Cattle, buffalo, goat and poultry work — the half of a Madhesh farm that does not grow in a field.
Milk arrives every morning, whatever the harvest did.
For most farm households in Madhesh, livestock is not a sideline — it is the part of the enterprise that produces income daily rather than twice a year, and the part that absorbs crop residue and returns manure to the field. The livestock farm treats it that way, as one half of a mixed farming system rather than a separate subject.
Work covers dairy cattle and buffalo management, goat husbandry, small-scale poultry, fodder and forage production through the lean months, feeding based on what a household can actually grow or buy, breeding records, and routine animal health — vaccination schedules, parasite control and clean housing.
